Mitch McConnell fundraises off Trump impeachment, says effort will fail 'with me as majority leader'
Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said his chamber would have"no choice" but to hold a trial on whether to remove President Donald Trump from office if the House votes to impeach.
The McConnell campaign, according to Facebook's"Ad Library," started running the digital ad last week, a few days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry over whether Trump improperly pressured Ukraine's president to investigate political rival and possible 2020 opponent Joe Biden.Photos: The Trump impeachment inquiry in pictures
"Few issues energize conservative voters like liberal overreach," Golden said in a statement."And the Democrats latest outrageous attempt to impeach President Trump has activated our base to new heights." The complaint from the anonymous whistleblower, reportedly a CIA officer, led to the White House releasing a summary of the July phone call between Trump and Zelensky.
The president also claimed Thursday that McConnell put out a statement referring to the president's phone call with the president of Ukraine as"the most innocent phone call that I’ve read." A trial would then be held in the Senate, where it would take at least two-thirds of the chamber to convict Trump and remove him from office.
